From DC to Limerick

Hello everyone,

This will probably be my last blog. Mainly because I don't have much excitement left here in DC. It will be mostly homework from here on out. I've got a portfolio and a 10 page paper all due before I leave.

But I did go see the Cherry Blossoms. They're really all over the place in DC. My least favorite part was all of the tourists... but I managed to get a few good pictures.

While I was looking at the Cherry blossoms I also saw the Jefferson Memorial

But that was the last of the sightseeing I've done. For class I went to CNN. It was a really interesting day to be there. We went on Monday right after the bombings in Boston. So we got to see how the news reacts to a crisis like this. We weren't able to stay long, and everyone was running around like crazy. But it was unforgettable.

I also wanted to tell everyone I was accepted to study abroad in Ireland next semester. I still have to work some things out with my school, but other than that its pretty final. I will be studying in Limerick Ireland at the University of Limerick.
Here is what the University of Limerick looks like:

I'm really excited to go, but I've got to get it all figured out relatively soon since I would be leaving for Ireland on September 1st.

Well I will see you all soon.
This will be my last blog post for DC.

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Hello Everyone,

I'm really sorry it's been over two weeks. I'm starting to get really lazy about this blogging thing. I might only write one more after this.

So, last weekend I did two things. I went to the Native American Museum and the Circus!

Native American Museum:

 

 This will be a short explanation. This museum was cool, but it was WAAAYYYY too much reading. I got really bored after a while. There were some cool exhibits. But really the coolest thing about this museum was the architecture. It's a funky looking building for sure.









The Circus:

So Christina and I decided we wanted to go to the circus! Barnum and Bailey's was coming to DC and the tickets were really cheap. Thus... we went to the circus. Needless to say we were two of the oldest people there (besides parents).

 The Elephants were probably my favorite part of the show. I just think they're so cute!


























My Friends Visit:

 So two of my best friends from home came up to visit me over the weekend. It was awesome to see them. And of course we did as much touristy stuff as we could within the 3 days they were here. and for the most part I got them to all the important places. Monuments, Memorials, and the White House.

I also got to fly a kite for the first time! The Kite Festival was taking place on Saturday. I don't have any pictures of it yet (i have to steal some from my roommate) but it was the coolest view. There were hundreds of Kites flying. And I actually flew one! and I can honestly say I had no problems making it fly. I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was.


And now for the moment you've all been waiting for... my new hair color!

Well, I'll try to write another blog soon.

Bye
